But Owens as a face? The same Owens that backstabbed his best friend on day one, and from a kayfabe perspective, has put quite a few people on the shelf himself with Powerbombs into the apron. I don't think it's THAT hard to make him a face. Like I've said before, just have him stop cheating/blindsiding people. The rest of his character wouldn't have to change. The "smart-ass/bad-ass" character has certainly worked before and Owens seems to fit the role perfectly. I have a hard time imagining an Owens who doesn't whack people over the head with the mic, doesn't powerbomb people on the apron, and doesn't bury people's acts in his promos.

Guessing we'll get heel vs heel Owens vs Rollins with HHH and Steph in each corner, until Steph turns on Rollins as well; and they do the whole authority thing again. Only if Owens turns on the Authority because he doesn't need their help. Then Owen Owens turns on his father because he's the new Authority golden boy. Somehow, this all ends with the Universal Championship belt turning face.

Let him be almost a Roddy Piper type that will go for something like an eye poke or back rack or some such before a heel does it to him. It could not be a regular thing.

I think Owens sticking with Y2J and their buddy-cop-esque bromance together would make them both Team Hell No-level faces quickly. The crowd already loves to sing along with Jericho when he does his 'stupid idiot' promos and talks about 'it'. Jericho is a true bro to Owens and was largely responsible for putting KO in the position to win that Fatal Four Way Elimination match (which would set up an interesting dynamic between HHH and Jericho, two old super rivals who are now both KO's "boys")

If they're turning him face, they'd better give us a reason to like him other than, Triple H turned on him. Triple H turned on him and he enjoys CrossFit. There you go.

I didn't see any face turn, after the match he went and whined to Steph like a baby.

It'll likely be a slow burn type of turn.

And then hid behind his family when confronted about it. And they call Miz the coward. Rollins outright said he was going to kill Edge and would've if Cena didn't stop him. Wow. The Universal Championship picture is filled with assholes.

Honestly, between his focus ever since the Kane feud on proving himself legitimately, the recurring character thing that he seems to despite his insistence otherwise genuinely regret turning on Reigns and Ambrose and miss being in the Shield, and his constantly being berated by those who handpicked him, Seth isn't really the most unlikable heel in the world to begin with in spite of all his bastard tendencies. Turning him face really shouldn't be that hard.

I'll say that the (unofficial?) first night of Face!Seth went a lot better than expected. His match with Jericho was a good showcase for him.

Fans took to it immediately which is great, but why the f*** was Byron still shitting on him? Isn't the usual procedure to just avoid bringing stuff up from the recent past that paints the guy as a heel still?

I noticed he was still basically the same Seth as before, just without the "ha-ha-ha fans you suck!" heel heat going for him. That's how it should be.

Yeah, this was a good first night. And the audience was chanting supportively for him, so that's good.
